Description

The SFA30-D-T employs a patented electrochemical sensing principle for precise detection of formaldehyde concentrations at the parts-per-billion level. Its built-in RHT sensor continuously measures ambient temperature and relative humidity, applying real-time compensation algorithms to maintain accuracy across varying environmental conditions, crucial for reliable HVAC and air purifier control.

Designed for long-term stability, the module features anti-dry technology that preserves the sensor electrolyte, supporting a rated operational lifetime of six years. The factory-calibrated digital output via I²C or UART simplifies integration, eliminating the need for analog signal conditioning and providing direct, compensated concentration data to the host system.

Key Features

  • High-precision electrochemical formaldehyde sensor with 0–1000 ppb range.
  • Onboard temperature and humidity sensor (RHT) for automatic environmental compensation.
  • Dual digital communication protocols: I²C (address configurable) and UART (TTL-level).
  • Extended sensor lifespan enabled by patented anti-dry technology (up to 6 years).
  • Minimal cross-sensitivity to ethanol and other common VOCs for high selectivity.
  • Factory-calibrated with lifetime calibration data stored on the module.
  • Low power consumption design suitable for battery-operated and portable devices.
  • Robust operation across 0–40°C and 10–90% relative humidity (non-condensing).

Applications

  • Indoor Air Quality (IAQ) monitoring and control systems for smart buildings.
  • Formaldehyde detection in HVAC systems and air purification units.
  • Portable and wearable air quality monitors for personal health safety.
  • Integration into IoT environmental sensor nodes for smart home automation.
  • Compliance and safety monitoring in offices, schools, and healthcare facilities.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the operating voltage range for the SFA30-D-T module?

The module requires a supply voltage between 3.15 and 5.5 VDC for normal operation. The absolute maximum voltage ratings are from -0.3 V to 6.0 V; exceeding these limits may permanently damage the sensor.

How do I communicate with the sensor, and what interfaces are supported?

The SFA30-D-T supports two digital interfaces: I²C and UART (TTL-level). You can select the interface via hardware configuration. The I²C address is configurable, and the UART baud rate is typically 9600 bps. Refer to the datasheet for detailed command sets and protocol specifications.

Does the sensor require calibration, and what is its expected lifespan?

The module is factory-calibrated, and lifetime calibration data is stored onboard, so no user calibration is required under normal conditions. Thanks to its patented anti-dry technology, the electrochemical sensor has a typical service life of 6 years when operated within its specified environmental ranges.

How does temperature and humidity affect the formaldehyde readings?

The module has a built-in Sensirion RHT (Relative Humidity and Temperature) sensor. It continuously measures ambient conditions and applies real-time software compensation to the formaldehyde reading, ensuring high accuracy across its operating range of 0–40°C and 10–90% RH.

What is the sensor's cross-sensitivity to other gases like ethanol?

The SFA30-D-T is specifically designed for low cross-sensitivity. Its response to ethanol is less than 0.5% of its response to formaldehyde, which minimizes false alarms in environments where alcohols or other common VOCs are present.
